The manatee is one of the most endangered animals in America. Today, with only a few thousand left in the world, these special ocean animals could easily die out.
Looking something like a cross between a dolphin and a hippo（河马）manatees have been described as “giant grey sweet potatoes ”. They are commonly known as sea cows because of their size and plant-based diet. Manatees live on sea grass, much like cows live on grass in fields. An adult manatee eats about 70 kg of sea grass every day. Growing up to 3 m long and weighing 1,000 kg or more, these gentle giants of the ocean are harmless. In fact, they are known to be friendly.
Manatees live in the shallow（浅的）coastal seas and rivers. They are long-lived animals, reaching ages of more than fifty years. However, they give birth to only one baby every two to five years.
Weather change is one of the dangers to manatees. It has led to fast growing of some poisonous (有毒的）water plants that can kill manatees and the sea grass that they eat. Some manatees also die of diseases.
However, most manatees die because of people's activities. Humans not only destroy the manatees' homes, they also kill or hurt them as a result of their carelessness. Being slow swimmers near coasts, manatees are always in dan ger of being hit by fast-moving boats. Sometimes they also eat fishing hooks（鱼钩）or rubbish, or get caught in traps.
According to the Save the Manatee Club, almost 800 manatees died in 2009. The US state of Florida has set up special safe areas for them where boats are not allowed. They have also passed laws that require boats to slow down in areas of manatees’ homes.
26.Which of the following does NOT put manatees in danger
A. human activities B. other animals C. poisonous sea grass D. sickness
27. One reason manatees often get hit by boats is because they_________.
A. are too small for boaters to see
B. do not swim very fast
C. like to follow boats
D. like to eat fish hooks and rubbish
28. Which of the following is true about manatees
A. Manatees eat plenty of sea grass every day.
B. There were only 800 manatees left in the world in 2009.
C. The manatee gives birth to a baby every year.
D. The Save the Manatee Club has set up safe areas to save the manatees

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in northeast China. It is one of the world’s most important wetlands. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.
We do a bird count once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds. Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands.

One day Louis Leakey said he needed a volunteer. He needed someone to go to a lake in Tanzania to study a kind of chimpanzees. Jane was excited.
On July 16,1960, she began her exploration（探索）．At first，the chimpanzees ran away from Jane. But with time passing，they got used to her being around.
Every day，Jane would follow the chimpanzees，taking notes on their behavior. She learned many new things about chimpanzees. She watched how a chimpanzee made a tool. She learned how some chimpanzees became good leaders. She watched how mother chimpanzees raised their children. She watched animals get angry and get upset.

Don’t you think that we have lost enough We have lost most of our natural resources (自然资源),and now we are going to lose animals!
Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species influenced by this is the dinosaur.
We have caused animals to get endangered too. The pollution that we create destroys (破坏) many animals’ living places. An example of an animal species that has been influenced by pollution is the sea turtle. Overhunting is also a huge threat (威胁). When people overhunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger and the Atlantic cod. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live. Examples of some animals that have been influenced by this are many species in the Amazon Rainforest.
Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do research on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again.
Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer,or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!
37．What made the Bali tiger be in danger
A．Being short of living places. B．The pollution.
C．People’s overhunting. D．The strong enemies.
38．What do many organizations do for endangered animals according to the passage
① They try to protect the places where the animals live.
② They do some studies on the animals.
③They stop people from eating meat.
④ They make people realize the problem.
A．①③④ B．①②④ C．①②③ D．②③④
39．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
40．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To encourage people to protect endangered animals.
B．To introduce what some organizations do for animals.
C．To show how people influence animals.
D．To describe the situation of some animals.

Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong Nature Reserve is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Some of them live in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means that there will be less and less space for wildlife.
More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year members of our Bird watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.

Don’t you think that we have lost enough We have lost most of our natural resources (自然资源),and now we are going to lose animals!
Natural competition happens when species (物种) compete for food and living places. An example of an animal species influenced by this is the dinosaur.
We have caused animals to get endangered too. The pollution that we create destroys (破坏) many animals’ living places. An example of an animal species that has been influenced by pollution is the sea turtle. Overhunting is also a huge threat (威胁). When people overhunt, they catch too many of an animal species, so either not many animals are left, or no animals are left at all. Examples of some overhunted animals are the Bali tiger and the Atlantic cod. Cutting down trees is also very dangerous for animals. It leaves them with no place to live. Examples of some animals that have been influenced by this are many species in the Amazon Rainforest.
Many organizations such as WWF (World Wildlife Fund) are doing something to protect animals and the environment. They try to protect the living places of many endangered animals. They do research on the species and they educate people. Zoos also help. They let many endangered species live in a healthy and safe environment. Sometimes zoos might even let an endangered animal go back into the wild to try to raise population numbers again.
Not only the big organizations but also you can help. You can give away money or you can volunteer,or you can do the simplest thing of all—CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!
37．What made the Bali tiger be in danger

范文：At present, as a consequence of human activities, many wild animals are endangered. Worse still, some of them may disappear forever.
There is no doubt that hunting wild animals has a bad influence. For one thing, it causes the imbalance of our ecosystem. For another, it leads to the spread of infectious diseases from animals to us human beings, such as SARS and Novel coronavirus.
As far as I am concerned, something must be done to stop this illegal act. Nature reserves ought to be built so as to offer more living space to wildlife. What’s more, we should never have wild animals for food, as they are part of environment.
